Just called Carnival . The spectacular sale is an upgrade. Only one category on Sept. Valor. They said 8a and 8b are all gone alreadly( I find that hard to believe since all other categories are open). The sale price is that of an 8c with one cat upgrade.
We are already booked . We were just checking to see comparisons.
I love cruising with Carnival and am very excited about our next cruise with them.
I just wish that when they advertise a SPECTACULAR sale, that it would be more than a one cat. upgrade. You can find that at just about any time of the year.

Everytime I tried to enter the code, it kept telling me the code was invalid. It just kept giving me the current promotion (1 level upgrade) on any type or size room I choose.
Tried several Fla. ports as well.
